Hi again, got my AVR date through today and taking the plunge on 19th August. I previously asked you guys to help with my choice of valve biological or mechanical,bearing in mind I’m 45 I’ve been reading a lot and have decided to go for the Medtronic Hancock cinch biological valve. Has anyone else had one of these and how’s it doing???
